32-bit Vista (SP1) DHCP client doesn't acquire an IP address when using '-net user'. (Userspace networking does work if IP assigned by hand.) IPCONFIG /RENEW times out after a longish time.
Interestingly, DHCP worked fine after initial install of the Vista OS (using E1000 card), but failed after the next reboot. Hmmm. Doubting myself, I switched to RTL8139. Vista updated its drivers on startup and DHCP worked fine again, but failed after next reboot and hasn't worked since. DHCP with '-net user' is working fine in XP3 guests. Rarely use Vista so I only noticed this at kvm-82, and again with -83. Host is 32-bit Slackware 2.6.27.7-smp with own-built kvm-83 binaries and kernel modules. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
